Interplay website hacked

The Interplay website was hacked a day or so ago. They've put up a "we'll be back soon" sign and will be back when they're back. Just an FYI to Interplay.com regulars.

Thanks Kardinal.
 
lulz.

Well, does anyone know what happened to the site while it was hacket?
 
It's looking like we'll be down until early next week when our IT guy gets back from vacation.

The hacker pretty much trashed the website files, and tried to force a download of some malware. We shut down his access and cleaned up the site.

No source code was at risk.

I got to take part in a couple "fun" phone calls yesterday. Good times!
 
your IT guy couldn't walk you through a restore process on the phone? stuff got borked good then...

as for the hacker, he didn't even use any decent way of trying the .exe to force download. kinda funny, you had to accept it and run it.

anyone who got infected from that deserves an internet equivalent of a Darwin award.

A shame...


Uh.

Heh. I can't blame you guys for trying! ^_^

True, true. I have little sympathy for people that blindly download and run junk from _any_ website. Still, we couldn't leave that executable up.

'Tis a shame though, so many other sites that deserve a good hacking.

Though I can say I am curious to get a look at the Fallout Online development. *cough, cough*

Hackers are a waste

What a bunch of wasteoids! What's the point of hacking a website and then flaunting your tag?

Also, I think Chris deserves some props and respect for coming on this site and facing the firestorm.

Oh wow, it what I always... hey, wait a minute. Haha. And yes, that's pretty cool Chris came down to give a shout out about what had gone on. Even has a snazzy South Park Fallout avatar. Didn't know they had those bodies!

The animations are almost as good like Oblivion ones.
 
Has their site ever been properly working? Because you can totally see their image folder. Looks like their webmasters are as dumb as me and don't know how to disable folder-view xD No wonder they got hacked.

:EDIT:

Actually, I just found out. It's on the indexing thing.
 
I don't think so, but they might've tossed Boogerman into Wiiware along with some other titles.

Good ol' Boogerman.
 
How much longer do they have in the "show us something substantial with two years" deal with Bethesda for the Fallout MMO?
